Kyoto Sanga vs Kashima Antlers Predictions and Top Betting Tips

Kashima Antlers will certainly try to be a contender in the new season after a successful campaign last year. Here are our Kyoto vs Kashima Antlers predictions.

Both Teams To Score Prediction: Yes

This is one of the more difficult games in the opening round and mostly because we have two teams that were not on the same level but shared the same poor form last season. Kashima Antlers are far stronger than their opponents but if they have not improved at all, we expect a draw with a goal from both teams.

Match Result Prediction: Draw

As mentioned above, we envision a draw here. The teams had two extremely close games last season and we think that we can expect the same. Of course, Kyoto almost got relegated and generally have the far weaker squad of the two. However, based on the latest form we saw from Kashima, and unfortunately we have no updates on that, we expect a tight and close game.

Correct Score Prediction: 1:1 Draw

We see this as the most likely result in this game. Despite their differences, neither of these teams is particularly goal-scoring and we do not think that one team will shine with more goals than one. This will be a very close match.

Kyoto Sanga vs Kashima Antlers: Form, Recent Games, and News

Kyoto Preview

Kyoto had a most unsuccessful season and finished in the relegation zone, at 16th place. The team had to play a relegation bout against a team from the lower division and they managed to remain in the elite. We do not think they will be much stronger this season but there is always a chance for a much better performance. There will be several new teams from the J2 league, so there is a chance that there will be weaker teams too.

Kashima Antlers Preview

Kashima Antlers were one of the contenders for Top 3 throughout the entire previous campaign and unfortunately finished three points below the best teams. They will be motivated for a new successful season and we think that they remain one of the top clubs in the country. As a start, they should win against one of the old weakest teams.
